Same restaurant different table. I doubt you could by any stretch of even your imagination say they were riff raff. You are just not very well informed. you were collecting the leftovers ?

I read an article not too long ago that you needed 25 million or more to be considered rich(talking US dollars). Likely this one: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-23/bankers-don-t-think-you-re-rich-unless-you-have-25-million Yes, a million isn't much these days. A decent house in first world can easily be 2M+ USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit dated stereotype, the yachting millionaire attending horse races and such. I know a few multimillionaires, all are investor types and keep it very low key. You wouldn't be able to spot them by their clothes or behaviour, they make an effort to blend in. They are not Asians that have an innate need to show off, though.

ianezy0 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It would appear that whatever is occurring in the world of news, Pattaya is always affected! Hey Mr Editor, I just read a report from Forbes that the amount of millionaires in the world is increasing. OK reporter, write me a report that more millionaires are visiting Pattaya. OK Boss!

There's plenty of high end hotels and resorts in Thailand but they are all FAAAAAR away from Pattaya, for sure not because those hoteliers are idiots and accidently overlooked the best location in thailand ???? You are being funny right? You do know that all of the major chains like Hilton, Marriott, Dusit, Holiday Inns, Amari, Four seasons and so on are all in Pattaya?

My point was that many very rich people are in Pattaya daily for various reasons - lunch, Sailing, Polo, riding and so on. A friend of mine even flew her horse over.

Four Seasons, Hyatt, Hilton and Duset are among the worlds best hotels. Polo and riding in Pattaya is world class and so is Sailing. You are ill informed. I lived in Pattaya for many years. Good food and a very interesting life that competes with many other places in the world for far less money. If you got the Euro or Pound I can see why you are eating sour grapes. Go to the bank and buy some baht and you'll feel better and save some money in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knocker33 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I never read such utter rubbish in another thread you've got the immigration guy saying he is promoting tourism and friendly relations. At immigration check points you're greeted with sour face officers who seem to think it is their job to pi$$ a lot of people off and going on about an app that the majority of people can not even get a password for. And now millionaires flocking to Pattaya. Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
